# Supplier invoice Status

It's very easy to check an invoice's status on Spendesk.

# Check an invoice's status

If you can see the invoice on the **Requests** tab, it means it's either pending approval by an approver, pending reimbursement by the finance team, or denied.

The status will show "To approve/ Approved/ Rejected".

If you've split an invoice's payment in several payments, then part of the invoice's amount might be visible in **Payments** while the main request still shows in **Requests**.

If your invoice shows in **Payments** and not in **Requests** anymore, it means the supplier has been paid fully.

You can **edit your invoice request** if it has been rejected for a specific reason.

# Cancel an invoice with status : approved

Go to the **Requests** tab > **All requests** and find the invoice to delete.

* If the invoice has been **approved** by an approver, it can be deleted.
* If the invoice has been **approved** by an approver AND **reviewed** by Finance teams (Controllers), it needs to be sent back to **Invoices > Review** in order to be cancelled (or edited) by the Controllers.

# Invoices paid outside of Spendesk

As a Controller,

* **if you select XML payment**: make sure to share the .xml file with your company's bank for them to initiate the payment.
* **if you select CSV payment**: make sure you pay the invoice manually from your company's bank.
* **If you chose to pay the invoice from Spendesk**: make sure to click on **'Pay via Spendesk'** on the **Invoices > Schedule** tab.
